I have devoted the last 21 years exclusively to Family Court. I have tried thousands of juvenile delinquency cases and supervised staff attorneys litigate thousands more. I am fully familiar with child protective proceedings, family offense proceedings, child support, and custody/visitation cases. I am a strong advocate of public safety, working closely with law enforcement officials to reduce gangs, weapons and other issues relating to teen violence. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am married with four children. I know I can make a positive difference in the lives of people needing the services of the Family Court.
